THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY STATE IS THE EDUCATION OF ITS YOUTH. - - - DIOGENES stccent Youth Foreword Almost every age thinks that it is the most important in the history of mankind. Whether this age is the most important or not, it does present crucial challenges which today's youth must face--the challenge of ever-shrinking geographical barriers, the challenge of awesomely destructive military weapons, and the challenge of the boundless reaches of outer space. For students of Huntington High School these challenges will be tremendously significant. The elimination of the old barriers which formerly separated men means that Huntington students must join in the effort to bring better understanding among the world's races, religions, and nations. The development of weapons of terrifying destructiveness which may be hurled thousands of miles with pinpoint accuracy indicates that Huntington students must participate in the quest for world peace, The probing of man into the vast reaches of outer space suggests that Huntington students must contribute their share toward coopera- tive exploration which will add to the store of human knowledge and happiness, not heighten the danger of devastating warfare. Along with other young people of this nation and the world, Hunting - ton students must face and accept these challenges. That is why, in this yearbook, we place our ACCENT ON YOUTH.
